Evaluation of the current guqins in wood on market

Dinner together: at an authentic local restaurant, met a very interesting manager. Without knowing before hand, I thought he would be very good on tv.  And, he was such a personality, he was on tv many times.

An exceptionally warm event, we have had a very precious local HK guqin meeting.

It had the right mix of vitality of daily life and musical culture and a link to guqin culture in southern china - Guangzhou, Shenzhen.  Not enough time to talk about many other facets of guqin art and culture.

Video clips coming...

Until next time.

:)
